I'm trying to create an anchor link by extracting specific array values based upon based upon the key. I've tried using a foreach loop inside of a for loop, however that doesn't seem to work.
Based upon the below multidimensional array how can I loop through each subarray to create individual anchor links, such as:
Example:
/* Array Example */
array(3) {
[0]=>
array(2) {
["#attributes"]=>
array(1) {
["id"] => string(1) "2"
}
["name"]=> string(10) "Mark"
}
[1]=>
array(2) {
["#attributes"]=>
array(1) {
["id"]=> string(1) "4"
}
["name"]=> string(8) "John"
}
[2]=>
array(2) {
["#attributes"]=>
array(1) {
["id"]=> string(1) "5"
}
["name"]=> string(10) "Suzy"
}
/* Desired Output */

Let's assume the array you posted is the content of a variable called $users. You can walk through it by doing
foreach ($users as $usr)
{
$usr['#attributes']['id'];
$usr['name'];
}
This way, you can go through every node without worrying about the indexes.
You may output the link on each foreach iteration in several ways. A complete example (which allows to use HTML without escaping every special character) could be:
<?php
foreach ($users as $usr)
{ ?>
<?php echo $usr['name']; ?>
<?php } ?>
While it looks complex, with a lot of PHP opening and closing tags, it makes it easier on the markup with almost no performance penalty
You can use either ways: ($array is your array)
$names = array_column($array, 'name');
$ids = array_map(function($ele){return $ele['#attributes']['id'];}, $array);

Hello I am looking for some help with removing an element from an array. My array $rooms holds events per rooms. Each room has its own array and each event has its own array within the room array. I loop through $rooms and display the room ID and within this loop I loop through the events for that room and display their contents. I would like to remove the array for the event that has been displayed so I don't have spend time comparing it when I repeat the same loop.
Below is an example of the process I am describing. I know it makes no sense to delete the element in this logic as I am using foreach, but within my application the logic of the function requires it..
$rooms
array(3)
{
[1]=> array(2)
{
["rid"]=> string(1) "1"
["events"]=> array(0)
{ }
}
[2]=> array(2)
{
["rid"]=> string(1) "2"
["events"]=> array(0)
{ }
}
[3]=> array(2)
{
["rid"]=> string(1) "3"
["events"]=> array(2)
{
[0]=> array(7)
{
["lname"]=> string(20) "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
}
[1]=> array(7)
{
["lname"]=> string(10) "yyyyyyyyyy"
}
}
}
}
loop
foreach ($rooms as $room):
echo $room['rid'];
foreach ($room['events'] as $event):
echo $event['lname'];
If you could tell me where within the foreach I should put the code and how should the code look like that would be really great. I think it should be right after echo $event['lname'], but I can't figure out how to locate the element that is displayed so I can unset it..
Thank you all for reading,
looking forward to your replies.
You can simply unset the event after echoing it, but you'll need to reference it from $rooms, so you need to use the key's at each level. Try this:
foreach($rooms as $i => $room) {
echo $room['rid'];
foreach($room['events'] as $j => $event) {
echo $event['lname'];
unset($rooms[$i]['events'][$j]);
}
}
You can see an example of it working here.
I have a $date array like this:
[1]=> array(11) {
["meetingname"]=> string(33) "win2008connectcurrent0423131"
[0]=> array(3) {
["scoid"]=> string(7) "3557012"
["datecreated"]=> string(19) "2013-05-23 10:02:39"
["numparticipants"]=> string(1) "3"
}
[1]=> array(3) {
["scoid"]=> string(7) "3557012"
["datecreated"]=> string(19) "2013-05-23 14:40:06"
["numparticipants"]=> string(1) "3"
}
}
foreach($date[0] as $key => $meetings){
print "$key = $meetings\n";////yields scoid = 3557012
}
And, as you can see above, I am looping over individual elements. The first element (not indexed) is always meetingname; the rest of the elements are indexed and themselves contain arrays with three elements in each array--in the above code they are [0] and [1].
What I need to do is make the $meetings as an array containing [0] and then [1] etc, depending on the number of elements. So essentially, the output for print should be an array (I can also use var_dump) with key/values of [0] but right not it only outputs individual keys and their values, for example, as you can see above, scoid=3557012. I will need, something all keys/values in the $meetings variable, something like:
{
["scoid"]=> string(7) "3557012"
["datecreated"]=> string(19) "2013-05-23 10:02:39"
["numparticipants"]=> string(1) "3"
}
How can I fix the foreach loop for that?
please Try this. hope it help.
foreach($date as $key => $meetings){
if($key == "meetingname")
continue;
else
print "$meetings\n";
}
You can just create a new array and add the meetings to that one
<?php
$meetings = array();
foreach($date[1] as $key=>$meeting) {
if (!is_int($key))
continue; //only handle numeric keys, incase you ever change the name of the first key 'meetingname'
$meetings[] = $meeting
}
var_dump($meetings);
?>
So I need to modify the array in a memcached key-value pair. I need to remove one of the arrays inside the array. An example of what it looks like:
array(2) { [0]=> array(3) { ["username"]=> string(3) "Bob" ["id"]=> string(5) "14537" ["comment"]=> string(4) "cool"} [1]=> array(3) { ["username"]=> string(3) "Tom" ["id"]=> string(5) "14538" ["comment"]=> string(3) "yes"}}
If I know the values of username, id, and comment, how can I delete it? The generic queston: How can I delete array 0?
Considering the answer of doing a foreach loop, I tried
foreach($memcachedarray as $f){
if ($f['id'] == '14537'){
echo key($f);
}
}
But it spits out username
Edit- Ok
I searched some more and found I need to do this:
foreach($memcachedarray as $key => $f){
if ($f['id'] == '14537'){
echo $key;
}
}
That works!
If the Id's are unique across the system then you could use an associative array to store you data then unset the key, otherwise you would want to use a foreach loop to get the array key, then unset that key and recommit your new array back into memcache.
I hope I can make this question clear enough.
I'm looking to put a list of arrays inside one master array, dynamically, so that it looks like this:
masterarray {
array1
{ [0]=>VAL1 [1]=>VAL2 }
array2
{ [0]=>VAL1 [1]=>VAL2 }
array3
{ [0]=>VAL1 [1]=>VAL2 }
}
I've tried, but I could only get it to look like this:
array(1) { [0]=> array(2) { [0]=> string(1) "1" [1]=> string(13) "CODE" } }
array(2) { [0]=> array(2) { [0]=> string(1) "1" [1]=> string(13) "CODE" } [1]=> array(2) { [0]=> string(1) "1" [1]=> string(13) "CODE" } }
array(3) { [0]=> array(2) { [0]=> string(1) "1" [1]=> string(13) "CODE" } [1]=> array(2) { [0]=> string(1) "1" [1]=> string(13) "CODE" } [2]=> array(2) { [0]=> string(1) "1" [1]=> string(13) "CODE" } }
And that's definitely not what I'm aiming for. Nothing seems contained. I need the format specified above.
I'm using the explode function on a string pulled from a file to make this table of arrays (I think you call it that)
Here is the code I'm using that's not working.
$variabledebugging = file("FILE.TXT");//LOOK IN THIS FILE FOR THE NUMBER AND SET IT TO A VAR.
$i=0;
foreach($variabledebugging as $placeholder){
$variabledebuggingtbl[] = explode("\t",$variabledebugging[$i]);
var_dump($variabledebuggingtbl);
$i++;
}
I've tried a couple of different variations, but that's the one I'm using now.
To be clear, that file being pulled (each line as a value in an array) has 2 things written to each line, separated by a tab character, so that's the system I'm going on.
Thank you! I'm sure this is a simple task, I just can't think it through.
Oh and while I'm at is there a way to make debugging more readable?
You ARE getting the right result. The reason it seems wrong is that you are running var_dump inside the loop. And why don't you use the $placeholder variable?
$variabledebugging = file("FILE.TXT");
foreach($variabledebugging as $placeholder){
$variabledebuggingtbl[] = explode("\t", $placeholder);
}
var_dump($variabledebuggingtbl);
I'm not sure what you mean by "making debugging more readable", but if you want some linebreaks and indentation you should just look in the generated HTML code. var_dump do add spacing to make it readable but it is ignored by the web browser. If you don't want to read the HTML source, just add your var_dump to a <pre> element.
I am still very new to PHP and from all the examples that are around they all seem to use foreach statements.
e.g.
foreach ($variable as $row)
However I don't think I should be using this all the time, for example variables or objects I have an which only has one row or instance in an array.
I know its advantageous to use them for multiple rows which could be missed if you used a for loop.
But do I really need to use it just to echo one variable thats in an array?
e.g. for example this variable $stats
array(3) { ["user_interventions"]=> int(4) ["fastest_intervention"]=> array(1) { [0]=> object(stdClass)#22 (1) { ["duration"]=> string(8) "02:10:00" } } ["slowest_intervention"]=> array(1) { [0]=> object(stdClass)#23 (1) { ["duration"]=> string(8) "02:26:00" } } }
Thanks
if you know the 'address' of the value in your array, then there's no need for a loop:
echo $arr['user_interventions'][0]['duration']; // 02:10:00
More details here.
No, you do not need to use a foreach loop every time you need to access an array value. Your example could be used in the following manner...
echo $stats['fastest_intervention']['0']->duration; // Outputs: 02:10:00
Here's your variable dump with indentation (makes it easier to read).
array(3) {
["user_interventions"]=> int(4)
["fastest_intervention"]=> array(1) {
[0]=> object(stdClass)#22 (1) {
["duration"]=> string(8) "02:10:00"
}
}
["slowest_intervention"]=> array(1) {
[0]=> object(stdClass)#23 (1) {
["duration"]=> string(8) "02:26:00"
}
}
}
You need not to use foreach here but you can't just print $array
if you indexes of array you may print something like:
print 'Key is '.$array['key'].' but index is only'.$array['index'];
You just access the variables using []. print $array['key']
